Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror

An examination of the Osama bin Laden/al qaeda threat and the US presence in Iraq

Long Synopsis:

Never in our history was preemptive action more needed than in the past decade against the lethal, imminent threat of bin Laden, al Qaeda, and their allies. But the U.S. invasion of Iraq was not preemption; it was-like our war on Mexico in 1846-an avaricious, premeditated, unprovoked war against a foe who posed no immediate threat but whose defeat did offer economic advantages.
